Excellent service at this hotel. However, they have security checking all cars' trunks, and an…read morexray machine to check all large bags plus a metal dectector to enter, so it somewhat delays you going in. Hotel and room is very clean, but toilet handle looked broken, but could still use it. Staff are attentive and very nice. They greet you going in or out, and open the door for you going out. Toiletries include toothbrush, toothpaste, shower cap, hair band, finger nail file, small round cotton and cotton pad and comb. If you want your towels replaced, you place them in the bathtub. Bathtub and shower are separate, but the bathtub is little old looking so I didn't use it. They also have shampoo, moisturizer and liquid soap in the shower, and disposable house shoes. Sheets and pillows are clean and soft. They also offer robes. The 5 stars because Greenbelt 3 mall is right across the street, so everything is walking distance, even the MRT crossing from greenbelt mall to Landmark and SM mall. Because the mall is right across the street and the hotel is clean with friendly staff, I'd book here again.

I wanted to give New World a try after meeting a friend at the lobby here once. The lobby is…read moreexpansive and well lit creating a very good impression of a modern hotel that can stand up to the likes of the adjacent Shangri-La and Peninsula, and a natural extension of the classy Greenbelt 3 mall across the street. However underneath the facade of the lobby is a very meh and dated hotel room. Desks with old wooden squeaky drawers, an air conditioner with a mind of its own, no DND indicator at the door, and a faucet controlled by two knobs that need constant fine tuning throughout the shower. The check-in and check-out process seemed to take forever, and I can't imagine what it would be like during peak season when they're likely slammed. It's not all bad though. I think it's nice that they use Malin+Goetz products in the bathroom. And the bed itself seemed the one new contemporary thing in the room, which made for a comfortable sleep. The breakfast selection was decent, and a complimentary welcome drink was a nice touch. Still, given the variety of competition and options in the neighbourhood, I wouldn't make it a top choice despite it being the closest walk to Greenbelt.

It's not ultra modern and flashy but I like it even better because of that. There's a lot of wood in this hotel which makes it more Filipino in a sense. From the outside, it looks like a huge old Filipino house. The rooms are spacious and complete with amenities. They have kitchens so you can practice your culinary skills during your stay. If your kitchen skills is not that good then just go to their restaurant or head over to Robinson's Forum which is just a few minutes away. The rooms don't have windows so some may find it a bit claustrophobic but they are well lighted to compensate for the lack of natural light. The hotel is built over an incline so you'll need to walk uphill a bit if you're given a room that's away from the entrance. On the plus side, the rooms farther from the entrance gets more solitude since tricycles abound in the area and even though the sound is muffled, you can still hear them in the rooms near the entrance.

Bayleaf Hotel captured the charm of the authentic Old Manila infused with contemporary interiors…read more It is within the walled city of Intramuros neighboring Mapua University. Booked for a total of Php5500 inclusive of breakfast and a buffet dinner at the Sky Deck View Bar for 2 persons. Savored decent food selection with the panoramic Manila skyline as the backdrop. The roast beef paired with wine is a personal favorite. The rest of the menu is just ordinary but the view is exemplary. It can pass for a romantic venue for a dinner under the stars or a laidback friday night catch-up with friends. Subtly dismayed by the breakfast buffet served at 9 spoons. The food and coffee is really bland. The dullness of the menu is compensated by the efficient service of the staff. There is no amenity like pool but guests can spend the day discovering Manila through a Kalesa Tour. It goes around the historical sites and prime Churches in Intramuros. The function hall can be recommended for conventions and events. There is an ample parking space at the basement. This hotel is also ideal for business travelers since nearby universities and offices can be easily accessible through taxi, uber, or public transportation.

The location is near nice shoping and dining destinations. Some negatives.. Overall the hotel restaurants are too expensive . Shangri-La, you already got me with the room rates so let up on the dining prices. I suggest skip the fancy seafood buffet. It was ridiculous how you need to order a tiny lobster one by one and wait something like a half hour for it to be cooked. If you are a drinker like I am, stay away from the lobby piano and bar area. Service was too slow, drinks aren't stiff enough and the prices are too high. The swimming pool is on a roof which sounds cool but the sun was blazing hot. Not enough shaded seats. For that matter not enough seats in general. Also the cement around the pool is extremely slippery when wet. I slipped and almost threw a hip out trying to regain my balance. Be careful.

Clean and spacious accommodates US and European plugs, USB and kind USB outlets as well. Bathroom complete with toothbrushes shampoos soap etc. two liters of glass bottled water. TV channel selection a little small but I get it. First time I ever watch MLB is Japanese! Pool etc... Large pool with two swim lanes for those who like to do that. Two tennis courts a decent size gym and an outdoor smoking area for those who smoke. The food... Lobby Lounge Service most times was excellent with a few gaps at times. Chicken Cesar was very good, decent amount-of chicken and just the right amount of dressing. The cheese burger was good as well. But if you have the time hit the sage grill for the Wagyu burger, much juicer and actually cheaper. Sage Bar... Nice interior and again super friendly and attentive staff. Wagyu burger with fries was very good. Cooked perfectly and was very juicy. A solid choice. I thought the burger was good but the pork belly was just as good. The apple marmalade was a great addition. Circles... Very large buffet that had all kinds of options. We usually went for breakfast but everything from eggs to sushi fish head and some regional dishes. Recommend to try some nee things as you can take a bite or two Really enjoyed this place while balancing work and exploring the area.

Fantastic 5-star hotel for the area! I understand there may be more modern upscale hotels but for…read morebeing a chain and having a certain aesthetic, the hotel itself is very well maintained and clean. Staff greet you and open the doors of the lobby. The first for me is a small TSA-style metal detector (presumably for safety) at the entrance. There also happens to be multiple on-site restaurants, one of which has a breakfast buffet that was outstanding! There is also a pool, which was on a higher floor outdoors but somewhat smaller than other rooftop pools I have tried. They sent fresh fruit to my room and even accommodated an early checkin as their gesture for something special once I requested if something could be done, as it was my husband's first trip to the Philippines! I overall recommend this hotel and would check out their other locations around the world. Will stay here again if I return to Manila!

It is located in a busy area in BGC and is more business-oriented, but my family had a good time here. Pros: Friendly, professional staff. They all greet you with a smile and are ready to help. Clean, spacious room. It was an interesting setup as our 2 queen bedroom had 3 separate wash rooms - one for toilet, one for bathtub, and one for shower. Each had it's own sink so that was nice. Every night we had a comfortable sleep. TV offered a handful of movie channels such as HBO. Excellent breakfast - it's a little pricey, but I would recommend paying for the breakfast at least once. It offers a huge selection and is delicious. Cafes, shopping malls, convenience stores, laundry services all within a 5 minute walk. The pool and gym are excellent. Clean and spacious to get a good swim or workout. Dry and steam sauna, hot tub, and lockers are also available free of use. Cons: It is located in more of a business-oriented area of BGC. I would call it the financial district. The streets are very crowded with workpeople and cars. Go up north (about 7 minute drive or 15 minute walk) and you will be in a much more vibrant, popular area of BGC full of restaurants and activities. We had a great stay here but if I am being honest, next time we will maybe stay in a different area of BGC if visiting for vacation. But if you're staying as a couple or for business, this hotel is a solid choice.

It's nothing fancy, but for those who are just looking for a place to sleep, this is the perfect hotel. It's located in Makati City... close to many malls, clubs, bars and restaurants but far enough for it to cost a reasonable price. Their rooms are of good and adequate sizing, with a comfortable bed, TV and decent toilet and bath. The only downside is their breakfast which isn't great at all.. but then again, for the price you're paying, I don't think you should expect much. And besides, they have so many restaurants around it that you can just grab some food elsewhere.

There's also roof top pools, work out areas and Jacuzzi if you want to unwind from walking Makati city streets. I got reasonable pricing for suite, and with a little kitchen , two TVs, entrance hall, living room and security box, I felt safe and at home. I would stay here again!
